I am currently a graduate student at the University of South Florida. My research centers itself in the North Coast of Peru, investigating community and student perceptions of adolescent pregnancy, sexual education, and sexual behavior. Besides research, I am a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor. In my free time, I enjoy swimming, biking, hiking, weight training, cooking (mainly eating), binge-watching shows/movies, listening to music, and spending time with my dog, Elizabeth!
